I think the terror is very real and the u.s. government has definately got their hands full keeping horrible disasters like 9-11 happening on a daily basis. Its a scary thought, but we americans are out of touch, pampered to a point, and largely rely and expect homeland security to keep all the danger at bay. For the most part, they have done an excelllent job.
And mentioning that, I have to add that it really peeves me that people go and complain that the money spent on homeland security could have been used better elsewhere simply because nothing has happenned to produce proof of the necessity of these funds.
In this case, absolutely nothing is the proof.
